Hi,I use QCAD 3.4.6 on Ubuntu 13.10.If I create a block in a drawing and insert some block references I can modify their properties by Property Editor.But if I close and re-open the file, when I select a block reference the Property Editor freezes preventing any properties change (layer, color, linetype, scale...).It's very frustrating.Is it a bug?Marco

Sure.Even if the block reference is selected the Property Editor keep showing the previous selection (in this case no selection as showed in qcad0.png).If I try to click on the fields nothing happens and if I move the Property Editor out (qcad1.png) it becomes black.The only chance I have to change the properties of a block reference (after re-opening the file) is to create a new block and select it together with an existing "freezed" reference.Could it be the operating system?Shoud I try on Windows?Thanks

I found something.I tried on Windows and the problem persists. But, if I restore the Pro addons (I had disabled them because I don't need them and they occupy space on screen) the problem disappear.Do you think it's a bug? I would'nt like to choose beetween less space and the ability to edit the block references properties.

For now it's probably the best to keep the plugins enabled [or of course upgrade to QCAD Pro ]

I'm teaching QCAD (instead of AutoCAD) in a university drawing course (Design school at Politecnico of Milano) because I'm a strong supporter of open source softwares.I hope many of my students will appreciate your excellent software and become your next customers.

Good to hear! Out of curiosity, what operating system(s) are you using at the polytechnicum?
